Special Needs
Living in the Way of Jesus with the Heart of Jesus.
Sign your child up to join our ministry!
We want your child to love coming to church (and for you to love bringing them!) Our aim is to foster an environment where everyone, no matter their perceived abilities or needs, feels welcomed, loved, and encouraged to grow in a community of faith.

FAQs
We are an inclusive church and aim to foster an environment where everyone, no matter their perceived abilities or needs, feels welcomed, loved, and encouraged to grow in a community of faith.
Our church includes members with a wide range of disabilities and special needs and we welcome all as important members in the body of Christ.
We aim to support disability and special needs-friendly church services, small groups, youth ministries, and special events. The Special Needs Buddies Program helps us accomplish these goals with children pre-K through 6th grade.
Our volunteer Buddies provide support to kids pre-K through 6th grade at our 9am inclusive KidsChurch services. This service has a higher volunteer-to-child ratio, allowing for more individualized support and spaces. All Buddies are carefully background-checked and trained and are encouraged to build relationships with the child and family they are supporting. Our goal is for children to feel connected to familiar and trusted adults when attending Emmanuel Faith and for parents to feel confident leaving their child in our care.
